Harud cleared by Censors, to release in April

MUMBAI: Aamir Bashir?s directorial debut, Harud (Autumn), is set to release in April.

The film is the story of Rafiq and his family who are struggling to come to terms with the loss of his older brother Tauqir, a tourist photographer, who is one of the thousands of young men who have disappeared, since the onset of the militant insurgency in Kashmir. After an unsuccessful attempt to cross the border into Pakistan to become a militant, Rafiq returns home to an aimless existence. Until one day he accidently finds his brother?s old camera.

Despite being acclaimed internationally in film festivals at Toronto, London, New York, San Francisco and Dubai, the film failed to receive the government?s censor certificate and, hence, never got to release in India.

According to Bashir, the issue has now been resolved and his film is set for release.

Bashir is currently writing the script of his next venture titled ?Winter?.
